Jennifer and Glenn were amazing and very helpful! I did a surprise engagement shoot with them and they helped me plan out when and where I was going to do it. I had never been to Hawaii and the spot they suggested was amazing! We are extremely happy with the quality and quantity of the photos we received and are still in shock at how beautiful they are! Jennifer and Glenn were super nice and made us feel very comfortable during our shoot!

We had such a great time with Jennifer taking our family photos in Hawaii. She was friendly, professional, picked out great locations for photos and had really neat ideas on different shots and poses. She even did a great job with our 10-month-old grandson. This was one of the highlights of our trip and created a memory that we will cherish forever Mahalo Jennifer!

Our family pictures came out amazing! Jenn and her husband work as a team and they are great. They really paid attention to the small details and made our family photo shoot experience go so smooth. We had 6 adults and 6 kids for our pictures and they we so patient with all of us. I would highly recommend Jenn and her husband if you are looking to do family photos.

Jennifer was an absolute joy to work with! She captured amazing photos of my wife and I for our wedding pictures. They all look stunning! She knew the lay of the land where we went (Makapu'u Beach in Oahu) to get pristine shots and was excited to be there with us. It made the moment even more special. Can't thank her enough for the job she did!

If you want amazing pictures, we highly recommend Jennifer! She was quick to respond to our emails and questions. She and her husband made the shoot so easy, especially with 11 of us in our group. She beautifully captured our son's special moment of getting engaged on his fianc's favorite beach. The pictures are beautiful and a lot of fun. I would definitely use her again the next time we are in Hawaii!
